SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:4
ΒΆ E iban sus hijos y hacían banquetes en sus casas, cada uno en su día; y enviaban a llamar a sus tres hermanas, para que comiesen y bebiesen con ellos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 1:4
Verse 4. Feasted in their houses, every one his day ] It is likely that a birthday festival is here intended. When the birthday of one arrived, he invited his brothers and sisters to feast with him; and each observed the same custom.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-5 - Job was prosperous, and yet pious. Though it is hard and rare, it is not impossible for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven. By God's grace the temptations of worldly wealth may be overcome. The account of Job's piety and prosperity comes before the history of his great afflictions, showing that neither will secure from troubles While Job beheld the harmony and comforts of his sons with satisfaction, his knowledge of the human heart made him fearful for them. He sent and sanctified them, reminding them to examin themselves, to confess their sins, to seek forgiveness; and as one wh hoped for acceptance with God through the promised Saviour, he offere a burnt-offering for each. We perceive his care for their souls, his knowledge of the sinful state of man, his entire dependence on God' mercy in the way he had appointed.
